Thanks to 100 HSBC staff volunteers, children from Beyond Social Services, Carecorner, Chinese Development Assistance Council and Family Care Services were treated to fun, games, prizes and lunch at Kidz Amaze @ Safra Jurong.

For the first time, two kids' orchestras - Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) String Orchestra and Kids'philharmonic@sg - have applied to perform at this year's charity concert ChildAid 2013.
The annual concert, which is in aid of The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and The Business Times Budding Artists Fund, will be staged on Dec 6 and 7 at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands.

It has been eight years since ChildAid had its first edition. The annual concert that showcases the best of young Singapore musical talent has taken on a more classical sheen, with the Orchestra Of The Music Makers as its resident ensemble.
